Bush on Iraq: 'We're kicking ass'
Yes that is a direct quote as reported by Sydney Morning Herald of Australia and Australia Deputy Prime Minister Mark Vaile.

Some of the comments on that web site are classic.
Like his one...
"Oh yes. We are surely kicking ass in Iraq.
The question is whose ass are we kicking? All our dead and wounded soldiers? All the Iraqi dead and wounded? All the Iraqi refugees?
Anyone who makes a comment like that is psychotic."

Brilliant!
Someone e-mail that dips**t that people die in wars. That's the whole point.To kill the ENEMY and be killed killing them.AT THE END OF THE E-MAIL... ask Einstein where all these "refuges are".(and what psychotic means for that matter)
If he answers Syria , ask him if they were driving the WMD trucks over the border before America liberated that s**thole.
I could debunk every comment I read on that shytstain site, but the robotic yammering made me ill and I had to stop reading that bvllsh1t.

and this gem..."Bush says, "We're kicking ass." Ya sure, if killing a million people (many of them civilians) and leaving a hornet's nest of warring factions is kicking ass. The only ass Bush is kicking is his own as he stumbles through the last days of his presidency.

Bush uses both positive and negative psychology in his speeches (is it Tony Snow who writes them?) If you say "we're kicking ass" dumb people who pay no attention will believe you, and feel better about this atrocity, and keep voting the party line. (Power of the positive)

If you say "if we don't keep up the war, the terrorists will win" dumb people who don't think for themselves, or pay attention to facts and reality (and actuality for that matter), will get scared and worry and vote the party line. (The power of the negative)

I heard Bush say this morning (before I walked away from the news in disgust) that "Eventually, Liberty always wins". As if all that it takes is to use the word "Liberty". What? First, what's to win? There is no "winner" here. We won't defeat terrorism, we aren't even subduing it (quite the contrary, in fact). Second, whose definition of liberty? Is that where men are free and women wear burkhas? Is it where we get oil but the country is still tribally divided? Is it where you can say what you want as long as what you say doesn't go against the president, else you're labeled a traitor?

Again, he is trying to use the power of the positive and people who don't think for themselves, or don't pay attention to the complete hypocrisy and contradiction of it, vote the party-line.

He isn't alone, all politicians do this (or most that I've seen). They even practice certain body-language (especially hand gestures) that have been shown to persuade people.

Sheep do this. They'll follow-the-leader right off the cliff.

I have to stop reading the politics entries. If I don't my wife will ban me from Plime just like I am banned from watching the news. Maybe the California news is different from the Virginia news (DC, actually) but everytime the news was on I would go off on a rant. It might be politics, or crime, or just plain stupidity they were all rant-worthy. Must...resist...ranting
